Default De Rosa. Hand build Italian frame. I built the rest...

...I meant putting the bike together, not developing the components. ;-)

Default Very nice...I ride and Eddy Merckx myself

looks like you have Dura Ace components, yes? Mine is Campagnolo Record equipped. I used to race 20 years and 40 pounds ago. Now just a joy-ride every now and then with my son in the trailer.

Take out the ".t" in your picture thread, and it will look bigger.

Default Cool, Whats a low weight for a streetable bike like that?

Just curious. My dad and I built a bike while we lived in Italy in the late 70's. Went to the Columbo factory and watched the frame being made to my Dads build. Went to Campagnolo and met with the owner. He was so thrilled that we (Americans) had a real interest in his product he practically gave us the stuff for free. We tried to insist on paying full price but he was very obviously going to be insulted if we didnt accept. Keep in mind that this was back in the day when foreign countries had respect for the US. Have a friend in Spain right now who tells me he's lucky to get served in a restaurant. Seems the train bombing is all our fault.
